If the timing is retarded for low throttle positions, from perhaps 35° BTDC at normal speeds to TDC or even 10° after TDC at slow idle, the engine runs well without four-stroking.
("Squish" is an effect in internal combustion engines whereby turbulence is created when the compressed charge is "squished" as the piston reaches TDC. Such turbulence is desirable as it promotes more extensive mixing of the fuel/air mixture: cf: cf1, cf2, cf3).
Towards the end of Beto's career as the head of TDC, an attorney named Frances Freeman Jalet assisted Fred Cruz and other prisoners who were planning legal challenges to the TDC system.
She has spoken at numerous schools, universities, professional organizations and conferences such as Seybold, ATypI, TypeCon, AIGA, TypoBerlin, NY TDC (Type Directors Club), and was the keynote speaker at TypoTechnica 2002 in Heidelberg, Germany.
Affiliated to Manipur University, all the local colleges offer several Three Year Degree (TDC) courses in science and liberal arts.
